Yamaha G 130 A l969?

Came across a Yamaha acoustic guitar serial number either 9707 or 9207 (hard to read it on the foil label). Model is 69 G 130 A.
Has a neck that's about 2-1/2" wide and 3-1/2" across. 14" wide body and 39-1/2" tall. Can anyone tell me about it? value? Supposed to be a first edition. Want to start taking guitar lessons and traded a ring for this guitar. The gal I got it from bought it new. We can't find any information on it anywhere?

I have this guitar, I believe. The back and sides
are some striped kind of wood, African looking. The fretboard is sandalwood I believe. The top may be cedar but I don't know. Don't quote me on any of those. The woods do appear to be unique for YAMAHA. The model number on my guitar is just G-130A. There is no 69 prefix. There is some stupid unreadable serial like 3202 on the top right of the label. This page might give you some insight on the age and history of your fine sounding instrument. http://www.guitarist.co.uk/print.asp?ID=6848&type=feat

The wood of back and sides is Zebrawood.Rare for a guitar. I buy that guitar in 1971 in québec.Very good instrument with superior sound.Concert guitar in think.

I recently purchased a Yamaha Classical G-130A in excellent condition. The sound is amazing . Its really a beautiful guitar. Mine has the zebra looking wood on the sides and back looking at it from the inside, but was told it was rosewood top? but I do have some more numbers on mine located just under the sound hole on the neck extension which read as: 30313202 and another number on the inside bottom of the neck support block which reads as: T0287785 If anyone can add to this information please drop a line or add to the above
